During the last Final Match,
he tried something new again.
With his gloomy monologue, he sealed his fourth victory...
leaving a long-lasting message.
His husky voice eats into people's hearts.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
He managed to get on the train...
to his fifth victory beating all the competitors.
However,
they are here to stop his winning streak.
We have four dark horses seeking for the 40th King of Mask Singer.
Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles.
My Song Will Surprise You.
Dia Sexy Diva.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(Laughing)
Hang on. What should I do?
According to the online mobile survey,
netizens' expectation for the 40th King of Mask Singer is...
I'm Excited Hurray Radio with his mournful voice...
followed by Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
Shocking result continues.
Cheers never stop.
Dramatic reversals repeat in Round Two.
She's here to become the King of Mask Singer.
I think she is the best singer I've ever seen.
Songs beyond all expectations.
Touching performances.
Would Hurray Radio be able to continue his winning streak?
The fierce competition begins now.
(King of Mask Singer)
The first match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She is a girl with childlike innocence...
who beat the actress, Bae Jong Ok in Round One.
Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles.
(Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles)
(Striding)
(I'm Anne.)
(She's cute.)
I guess she will sing a dance song in Round Two.
Good. I want to see something new.
(What song is Anne singing on the stage?)
(She has a pure and clear voice.)
(Anne is a sensitive girl.)
She hid her real voice and skills.
(She even showed off some wave dance moves.)
That's Rain's song.
(She is a versatile girl.)
Seong-ju said there would be some big shots today.
- I think she is one of them. - You think?
(The panellists have high expectations for her.)
(But Anne's identity is still unknown.)
(She will sing against Surprise You in Round Two.)
(Paying sharp attention)
(Which song did Anne prepare?)
("Walking All the Way to the Sky" by Jang Hyun Chul)
Is she singing "Walking All the Way to the Sky"?
(Tough)
(This is exciting.)
(Let's walk...)
(all the way to the sky with Anne.)
(Surprised)
(Anne has completely changed.)
(Her voice sounds even more solid and soulful.)
(She overwhelms the audience with her strong charisma.)
(She dominates the stage.)
(Her shouting voice sounds like a roar.)
(Anne's remarkable change)
(Jumping)
(To the rhythm of Anne's song)
(She is like a ray of light in darkness.)
(Absorbed)
(She is a girl crush whose voice pierces the listeners' hearts.)
(Her power is endless.)
(She skillfully adjusts the volume of her voice.)
(She transforms like a chameleon.)
(She is a powerful vocalist who commands the stage.)
(A performance of explosive energy, "Walking All the Way to the Sky")
(The atmosphere doesn't cool down.)
That was incredible.
She was completely different in Round One.
(They cannot believe the performance they witnessed.)
- It was amazing. - That's what I am saying.
- How can one change so much? - It's the same person, right?
Maybe it's a different person behind the mask.
Opposing her is...
a man who beat Ahn Ji Hwan.
His voice will hit the world like a squall.
My Song Will Surprise You!
(He is 50m closer to becoming King of Mask Singer.)
(I will do my best.)
(We are excited about your performance.)
To be honest, I am excited about his performance.
Sir!
Call him "Master".
I disagree.
"Sir" is better than "Master".
(With a clear and powerful voice,)
(Surprise You captivated the panellists right away.)
My father liked him a lot.
If I may give you a hint,
he is related to the galaxy.
He probably developed muscles from struggling in life.
That's how those muscles developed.
I have seen that pose often on "Gayo Stage".
(He stands like a singer from the 70s and 80s.)
Many big shots are invited to the show today.
(Everyone is excited about Surprise You's performance.)
(Will his performance be worthy of the throne?)
("Passionate Love" by Yoon Si Nae)
(I can't believe it.)
(He hits low notes with a gentle and comforting voice.)
(His sorrowful voice touches the audience's hearts.)
(The unfathomable depth of his experiences...)
(seeps out in the performance.)
(The audience feels breathless.)
(His amazing talent makes everyone listen with bated breath.)
(They are touched to the core of their beings.)
He is an amazing singer.
(They are touched to the core of their beings.)
(His energy dominates the stage.)
(Who is Surprise You?)
(House Band)
(He unleashes deep emotions.)
(He expresses great sorrow with his everything.)
(Surprise You's voice took the stage by storm.)
(Everyone is greatly moved.)
(It was a magnificent performance.)
- He was so cool. - That was incredible.
His live performance was spectacular.
I don't know who to vote for.
The first match...
of Round Two came to an end.
Between these two masked singers,
who will become the first one...
to move on to Final Round?
All votes are in.
Let's hear assessments...
of their solo performances.
Both masked singers...
- were like clay. - Clay?
They squashed the image they had...
in Round One.
Even though their hearts were the same,
they showed us different charms in Round Two.
When Redhead Anne sang "Pink Lipstick" in Round One,
I talked about how pink is a colour that suits her nicely.
However, she sang today Iike she discarded the lipstick.
- Is that so? - Yes.
She showed us the wild charm with her bare lips.
In that process,
she kept the perfect control of her breathing.
As everyone knows, she is a talented singer.
There is something I cannot predict.
Will Redhead Anne win...
with her breathing control, singing skills and power?
Will Surprise You win with a deep taste of music?
Even though I made a choice,
I cannot help but remain unsure.
I see.
As soon as the performance ended,
Hyun Chul gave a thumbs-up.
He was captivated.
Was Round Two different from the previous round?
I will start with Surprise You.
- Last week, I called him "Master". - Master.
I told you that he sang my father's favourite song.
That's right.
"Passionate Love" by Yoon Si Nae...
is my mother's favourite song.
It's your mother's favourite song.
He sang songs my parents love.
He is someone your parents' generation love.
"Passionate Love"...
was released in 1979.
I believe it won an award in 1979...
at World Song Festival in Seoul.
Listening to the song must have felt different...
for those who remember such events.
I am certain some viewers shed tears...
as they watched the performance.
I wept with my heart.
You remember the past.
I am sorry to say this,
but I voted...
for Surprise You.
It was quite moving.
(He cast his vote as a thank you for a touching experience.)
I am worried that...
what I said last week...
might be considered offensive.
- They made me change my mind. - Do you need help...
in remembering what you said last week?
Last week, Seung Woo called Redhead Anne...
a ballad singer.
- It wasn't a big mistake. - He also said that Surprise You...
is Jeon Young Rok.
(Surprise You is Jeon Young Rok.)
- It wasn't a big mistake. - I didn't make a big mistake.
- I am only reminding him. - Thank goodness.
- That's what he said last week. - Thank goodness.
It became apparent...
that the two masked singers hid their true talents in Round One.
I was...
beyond touched...
to witness such impeccable performances.
The fun of watching King of Mask Singer...
lies in guessing the identity of masked singers...
with their voices.
However, I was absorbed in watching the performances.
I didn't even think about guessing their identities.
That's how great their performances were.
This is what happens when the performance is spectacular.
You know who she is right away and then start to enjoy the song.
You know who she is.
As for Map,
Mick Jagger was born in 1943...
and he got a son recently.
- Did he? - Yes.
- He's 74 years old. - He got a son at the age of 74.
- Gosh. - I think...
that he's not as old as Mick Jagger.
But the fact that an experienced singer like him showed up...
and performed so well...
is as marvelous as Mick Jagger having a son.
- He competed with young singers. - Right.
- If he makes it... - Without the title.
to Round Two today,
He will be the oldest King of Mask Singer.
- It's a record. - I can tell that.
His age is old enough to be a real king.
He's very old.
He's very, very old.
He's about as old as...
- kings. - kings in Joseon Dynasty era.
We're so happy that you are well again.
I'm happy that you are happy.
Inscrutable are the king's favours.
He's not as young as a prince.
- He's as old as a king. - As a king.
(I can't match against him.)
We had Round One last week.
You kept saying that singers hid their true skills,
but I didn't think it could be that much.
I was so surprised.
I've never heard the song "Passionate Love" before,
but I could understand what he tried to capture.
It was like getting a Thai massage.
- A Thai massage. - He made a mistake suddenly.
- Well, I... - What does that mean?
The masters of massage are...
very good at controlling the force.
I loved his tempo control.
It was as if my ears were getting a massage.
As for Redhead Anne,
she made some gestures...
with which I could guess her identity.
Who do you think she is?
I think I shouldn't say it.
You can.
- It's a privilege. - I'll guess her right this time.
- It's some privilege. - You of all people...
can say the name.
I hope you would get the right person.
Give him the initials.
- Please. - Her initials are...
MAYA, right?
Is it MAYA?
What?
(He gets nervous.)
(Oh, gosh.)
I'm sorry.
You gave the name instead of initials.
He said the full name.
You told me to speak. I'm sorry.
Okay. I see that many of you agree with him.
Then, now is the time...
to see their speciality.
Redhead Anne's speciality matches her mask.
She will act out "Anne of Green Gables".
Please start.
I'm so happy. I've always wanted to come to MBC.
Like the starts in the dark sky,
the lightings are shining brightly.
Hello, everyone.
I'm 11 years old.
Let's have fun today.
- Right now, I am... - Are you 11 years old?
completely happy.
That's it.
Isn't she a dubbing artist?
Isn't she Lee Yong Shin?
- Lee Yong Shin? - An actress or a dubbing artist.
- She's a dubbing artist. - Isn't she Lee Yong Shin?
With that much of skill, she's a dubbing artist.
She's not MAYA.
- She's not. - Definitely not.
Not MAYA.
You said MAYA.
- She's not her. - She's not.
I'll give you another huge hint.
She's good at walking like a model.
- Walking like a model. - She will show you.
Go over there...
and show them the walking.
Please show us.
(Redhead Anne walks on the runway.)
(Spreading arms)
(5, 6, 7, 8)
(Walking powerfully)
Strike a pose.
(Striking poses)
We will stop here.
(She's got the vibe.)
This is it.
It was a catwalk.
Isn't she Jang Yoon Ju?
- If she were Jang Yoon Ju, - Yes.
she wouldn't show the walking.
- Is that so? - We think that...
- she can be either S... - Right.
- or M. - I'd go for S.
- She's either S or M. - S or M?
So Chan Whee or Maya.
- She's either one of them, - Yes.
- but she's too tall for Chan Whee. - She is.
- She's too tall to be Maya as well. - Right.
They are not that playful.
None of them are.
Although she's standing next to Seong Ju,
she looks taller than him.
- There can only be one reason. - She's about 183cm.
Seong Ju is 168cm.
That explains everything.
- That's it. - That's preposterous.
- That explains everything. - We are so lost.
That's the only valid explanation.
You're shortening my height.
- You're preposterous. - That's the only explanation.
Can she be one of the models?
- First, - Please think carefully.
- I can't think of anyone. - Let's continue.
He might feel tired if we take too much time.
Standing on the stage counts as a speciality for him.
Don't ask for speciality.
Being here counts as his speciality.
Don't ask for speciality.
- Stop it. - Come on.
Let's see his speciality.
He wrote that it's an expedition dance.
I'm afraid they may laugh too much.
- You think they may laugh. - Yes.
They've laughed so hard already.
You will be okay.
Be confident.
Show us your dance.
It's an expedition dance. Music, please.
(Let's go to the world of exploration.)
Is he looking for a tiger...
or a treasure island?
Good.
(Taking few steps)
He's very flexible.
(Exploring the wild in the jungle)
A little more.
(He's on the street of New York.)
(He's in Jeju island now...)
(for swimming.)
This is it.
Well done.
He looked around...
as he swung his waist.
He's old for sure.
- For sure. - Yes.
- Let's look at one more speciality. - Okay.
There's misconception about his age.
What?
One of his specialities is...
a press-up.
(His speciality is a press-up.)
A press-up.
Are you going to be okay?
He does 50 to 100 press-ups a day.
He will show five press-ups today.
Five press-ups.
Showing five press-ups isn't enough.
It isn't enough. How many press-ups do you want to do?
- 10 press-ups. - About 10 press-ups.
- Let's go bold and do 10. - Okay.
To prove that he's not the person we have in mind,
we usually have a woman...
sitting on the back of the man...
doing the press-up.
Are you trying to kill him?
Never.
You're so mean.
(Mumbling)
What did you say?
He's trying to kill me.
You are so mean when you know who he is.
By any chance,
- can you do five press-ups... - No, please don't.
- with Redhead Anne on the back? - Don't. Just don't.
- Or 10. - You mustn't do that.
What? Do you want to do the press-up together?
Do you think you can beat him?
She listened to the conversation...
and thought that he's an old man.
She thinks that she can beat him.
She wants to do the press-up together.
Let's have a match, then.
Let's see who does more press-ups.
Okay, start.
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8,
- 9, 10, - Gosh,
- he's amazing. - 11, 12,
13, 14,
- Stop him. - 15, 16, 17,
(That's amazing.)
- 18, 19, 20, - Stop him.
- 21, 22, 23, - Now, stop.
- 23, 23. - Stop him.
He did 23 press-ups.
- He's amazing. - He's incredible.
Your guess was wrong after all.
- Well done. - He's great.
His strength is unbelievable.
Because of Gu Ra,
I did it with all my might.
- To disguise your identity. - Right.
Let's stop here to protect their identities.
I'll announce the result...
of the second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
With her electrifying performance, she stunned the crowd.
She's Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles.
He has a very experienced voice.
He's My Song Will Surprise You.
The winner of this unpredictable match...
is revealed now.
(The winner is revealed.)
(Her infinite energy heats up the stage.)
(Redhead Anne has a powerful and charismatic voice.)
(His deep sensibility penetrates the soul.)
(Surprise You's vocal delivery is so forceful.)
The winner of this match...
is...
- is... - is...
I'll feel sorry to let go of either of them.
(We don't want to let anyone go.)
(Will the winner be charismatic Redhead Anne...)
(or Surprise You with touching voice?)
(Who's the first winner...)
(to move on to Final Round?)
I'll now reveal the winner of this match.
Who's the winner? Who has won?
Let us see.
Redhead Anne is the winner.

Redhead Anne defeated Surprise You.
Please go back to the waiting room and get ready for Round Three.
Please give her a big hand.

(She looks excited.)
It felt great to receive such a passionate support of the audience.
This is exciting!
I moved on to Round Three.
Who is he?
Let's find out who he is now.
Please come to the back.
Now, Surprise You,
please take off your mask and show your face.
I was crying inside.
His singing reminded you of the old memories.
I think he can be the oldest King of Mask Singer.
His control of voice was incredible.
It felt like my ears were getting a massage.
(He showed off his cute expedition dance moves.)
- 15. - Stop him.
- 16, 17, 18, 19. - You should stop him.
- He is related to the galaxy. - The galaxy?
He's taking off his mask now.
He's taking it off.
(Surprised)
(Unbelievable)
He is...
- What is it? - Who is it?
- Is he someone else? - Did we guess wrong?
- Maybe it's not him. - Were we wrong?
He is...
Kim Kook Hwan, the singer with 48 years of experience.
(I knew it.)
(It was Kim Kook Hwan.)
(They're greeting him warmly with a standing ovation.)
(The grand singer has come.)
(It's good to see you, Kook Hwan.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, the viewers of King of Mask Singer.
I'm so grateful that...
I was able to come to such a young show even though I'm old.
I wish you happiness and good health. Thank you.
(You don't know me)
(How can I know you?)
(The song "Tatata" was a phenomenal hit in 1992.)
(Many of his songs such as "Do You Know Kotsuni" were very popular.)

(He won many music awards.)
("The Galaxy Express 999")
("Future Boy Conan")
("Mechander Robo")
(He is the singer of the theme songs of many animated cartoons.)
(Kook Hwan is the singer of the eternal childhood.)
How did it feel to sing with a mask on?
I've been on stage so many times,
but I still couldn't sleep last night.
(He was very nervous.)
I couldn't sing well because I didn't get much sleep,
but I have no regrets because I made it to Round Two.
I came to this show before people started calling me...
an old singer or a senior singer.
I thought this would help me to have a younger mindset.
- It felt good to be here. - All right.
(You're so great.)
I heard that you asked the staff...
not to give you any special treatment...
while you're on our show.
Is this true?
Yes. I thought getting special treatment would...
- really make me an old singer. - I see.
That's why I told them to do that.
I heard you worked hard like you're a rookie singer.
I went to the backhill 3 or 4 times a week,
- practised singing, - I see.
did push-ups and did a lot of stretches.
Did you cut down on drinking?
That's...
(He's funny.)
I try not to drink outside.
I only have a couple of glasses at home...
- with good food. - You worked hard for our show.
Do you know any cartoon theme songs that Kook Hwan sang?
He sang a lot of cartoon theme songs.
Can you name one?
- "Mechander Robo". - "Mechander Robo".
Mechander
- It goes like this. Mechander - Robo!
- La la, Attack - La la, Attack
Did you sing the theme song of "Future Boy Conan"?
- Yes. - He sang its theme song.
- "The Galaxy Express 999", too. - "The Galaxy Express 999".
- The galaxy. - That's right.
Do you know its theme song, Seung Woo?
The train makes its way through the darkness
When it crosses the galaxy
- Please sing it for me, Kook Hwan. - Let's hear the original version.
- He's the original singer. - Could you?
- If you know the song, - Yes.
please sing along with him.
Music, please.
("The Galaxy Express 999" is the famous cartoon of childhood.)
(Shall we travel back in time?)
("The Galaxy Express 999")
(The sunlight pours into the space station)
(It's the same voice that we heard in the cartoon 34 years ago.)
(The boy who lost his mother feels a strong longing)
(His never-dying voice that reminds you of the childhood innocence...)
(unites everyone of all ages.)
Thank you.
(It was a trip down memory lane with "The Galaxy Express 999".)
Today,
he wasn't the senior singer who debuted 48 years ago.
He touched our hearts only with his voice.
It was Kim Kook Hwan.
Please give him a big round of applause.
- Thank you. - Go, Kook Hwan!
(It was Kook Hwan's honourable challenge.)
Let's go!
Thank you.
(You're so great.)
(He seems relieved.)
I was happy...
to be able to sing in front of everyone in a long time.
It made me really happy. Let's go!
I didn't think about the fact that I'd be competing with...
young people while I was here.
The audience seemed to be enjoying my stage.
I just enjoyed being on the stage today. I really did.
I want to be a singer who can sing about life,
and I want to keep singing songs that can connect me and my fans.
This is the result of Round Two.
Skinny Redhead Anne with Freckles...
defeated Kim Kook Hwan and moved on to Round Three.
The second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
She defeated Kwak Hui Seong...
with her world-class voice that shines in the global stage.
Dia Sexy Diva.
(She struts with confidence.)
(She's beautiful.)
- We thought she's from overseas. - Yes.
I should observe her pronunciation.
She looks even more like So You this week.
(No, she doesn't.)
- I'm so curious about who she is. - Me, too.
(With a pure and clear voice,)
(Sexy Diva showed a sweet harmony.)
She has a very glamorous voice...
that people love to hear.
I'm sure she's a singer. She just didn't show us...
her true ability for the consideration of others.
She sounds like a young person.
I think she's an actress.
(She doesn't spare herself to entertain people.)
(Who is Sexy Diva?)
Jang Do Yeon, Park Na Rae, Jang Do Yeon.
(As she remains mysterious to us,)
(the tension builds up.)
(What kind of performance...)
(did Sexy Diva prepare to move on to Round Three?)
("Re-Bye" by AKMU)
(Surprised)
(Freely switching from chest voice to falsetto,)
(Sexy Diva's voice fills up the studio.)
Gosh, she's good.
(Her soulful voice freely moves around the notes.)
(Her voice is clear and sexy at the same time.)
(Sexy Diva is as charming as Janus.)
(Her vibrato and nasal tone are fascinating.)
(With various techniques, she makes her stage dynamic.)
(Wow)
Who is she?
(Whoever she is,)
(the panellists already fell in love with Sexy Diva.)
(Dancing gently)
She's so relaxed.
It sounds like a Broadway musical.
(Her sexy voice captures the listeners' eardrums.)
(Her voice is so unique and dreamy that you get addicted.)
(The variation of her voice creates diabolic temptation.)
(Who is this person with such a spellbinding voice?)
(Sexy Diva's "Re-Bye" was an irresistible temptation.)
(Wonderful)
- Who is she? - She is so good.
I've heard of this voice.
Opposing her,
this person beat Seul Gi from Red Velvet and...
is finally competing today.
It's Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order.
(Let's enjoy the performance with some crispy popcorn.)
(Welcome.)
I'm 100 percent sure she will go to the final.
(Already a fan of Popcorn Girl)
- Good luck. - What will she sing?
I bet her performance will be amazing.
(She sings with a lively groove.)
(She is a powerful vocalist with a strong scent of butter.)
I think she's a diva who leans towards rhythm and blues.
She is hiding something.
- I think you expect... - She has something different.
(With a lively popcorn dance,)
(she showed off her charm of a buttery popcorn.)
(Popcorn Girl still seems to be hiding something.)
(Everyone's looking forward to her.)
(What would be Popcorn Girl's secret weapon...)
(to beat Sexy Diva's splendour?)
("See-through" by Primary)
(Party time begins with her fascinating voice.)
(She's singing with more groove.)
(With her scintillating emotions,)
(she turns this place into a club.)
(She owns a lethal voice that reminds of red lipstick.)
(She sings with a natural rhythm like how water flows.)
(We can't see through...)
(her mysterious voice.)
(This is Club King of Mask Singer.)
She is just too good.
(So excited)
(Let's enjoy party time.)
(The atmosphere becomes endlessly bluesy.)
(She even knows how to rap.)
(I want to find you who's hidden.)
(This is a breathtaking hide-and-seek.)
(Feeling buzzed by a glass of cocktail)
(Her voice attracts our instincts.)
(It's even full of power.)
(Amazing)
(She speeds up with her sensual voice.)
(It was a breathtaking and thrilling performance.)
(Popcorn Girl, you are the best.)
(We are speechless.)
- She's a professional. - She's absolutely a professional.
- She is a good singer. - She's crazy.
King of Mask Singer better watch out.
The second match of Round Two...
has now finished.
Young Seok can't stop smiling.
You are very satisfied with the performances, aren't you?
I'm fully satisfied at the moment.
I want to talk about Sexy Diva first.
She sang with a wide variety of techniques.
It was a festival with full of surprises.
Those notes are very difficult to sing right on the beat.
But she managed to do it perfectly.
I think she sings very well.
As for Popcorn Girl,
her performance reminded me of a cyborg.
I was thinking of a cyborg...
because her singing was perfect beyond reach...
even with her groove and blues on.
She's done her mission.
(She's completed her mission.)
At the same time, I have a feeling...
that she came out to overthrow the current King of Mask Singer.
Right.
The current king is probably feeling uneasy now.
He knows by instinct that she is the one to watch out.
She is a singer with a great ability.
Hyun Chul, do you think they were perfect as well?
This match of Sexy Diva and Popcorn Girl...
is the hardest to judge for me.
Sexy Diva...
sang a wide range of scale...
with both chest voice and falsetto.
And the notes were so accurate.
(She sang so accurately.)
You sang very well.
(Thank you.)
As for Popcorn Girl,
there is no need for her...
to sing to the rhythm.
What do you mean by that?
She is the rhythm itself.
- Is she the rhythm itself? - Yes, she is.
I think she is the one who creates her own rhythm.
- I see. - What I mean...
- is she's... - She creates her own rhythm.
There is...
a word "high-end" to express high quality in English.
- High-end. - High quality.
She's the high-end of singing.
She's the ultimate singer.
She is at the end of the singing road.
She's the ultimate singer.
(The greatest comment of all time)
He said you were the greatest.
Popcorn Girl sings...
a bit like she's singing folk songs.
- Folk song? - Yes.
I'm attracted to her somehow.
I felt like...
I was listening to Adele's voice.
(Famous singer Adele excites the world with her singing.)
(Popcorn Girl's voice sounds like Adele's.)
Whenever I listen to Adele's song, I find her voice very addictive.
She also gives the same feeling.
After I watched the two performances,
I felt a bit lazy...
and wasn't bothered to judge them.
I didn't feel like criticising.
Louis 14 of France said, "I am the state."
- Did he say so? - Yes.
And they are saying, "We are the stages."
That's who they are.
It is very hard to choose one.
Last week, I told you that...
there were some big shots.
We even have the biggest shots.
- The biggest shots? - Yes.
I guess you all agree with me.
The word big shot isn't enough for them.
Who are they, then?
- They are bigger shots. - What?
- Bigger shots? - That's absurd.
He just said that in a rush.
- He was urgent. - I think so.
Anyway, they are better than big shots.
- Bigger shots. - Okay, bigger shots.
Among the panellists, I saw Seung Woo...
singing along with them the whole time.
Seung Woo sang along rhythmically.
Seung Woo, are you having an affair?
(Baffled)
- Seung Woo. - Me?
What I wanted to point out is...
that this is the entertainment that doesn't swing to the groove.
I just bombarded you with endless comments.
Groove is important for music.
It is also important for variety shows.
You should know how to go with the flow.
- He waited for it. - He just said something all of...
a sudden and tries to cover it.
What he does is groove, but what others do is rubbish.
What you just did was not going with the flow.
You didn't go with the flow, you know.
- You were without the groove. - Really?
It was so random.
Okay, Seung Woo. What do you think?
I think they both sang the songs that are hard to sing.
Sexy Diva sang "Re-Bye" of AKMU...
has a wide range of scale.
It's hard to sing the song well.
But she sang it without much effort...
with her pure, clear and high falsetto voice.
I enjoyed the song very much.
What Popcorn Girl sang...
is a song with a monotonous melody.
It is "See-through" of Primary.
She may feel some pressure if I say this.
To be honest, I'm pretty sure...
that she will show a great performance...
no matter what song she sings.
- I see. - I want to see her again.
I can't wait to watch her next performance.
She sang the songs people usually don't sing in a contest.
I think the panellists liked her performance because of that.
Let me give you hints about these two masked singers.
One of Sexy Diva's specialities is...
mimicking Lena Park's singing.
Show us Lena Park's way of singing.
(I will write a letter)
(She has a lilting nasal voice.)
- That's it. - She's good.
Next, it's Nami.
She's mimicking Nami. Show us.
(But when that time comes)
(When I meet you again)
- Isn't that Lena Park? - She sounds like Lena Park.
It just sounded like Lena Park.
No, it was Nami.
She sang it with her real voice.
Sexy Diva sounds like Song Ji Eun.
Song Ji Eun?
(Song Ji Eun of Secret)
(Is Sexy Diva Song Ji Eun?)
I thought she sounded like Song Ji Eun of Secret.
- Okay. - I think...
Okay. Cheng Xiao.
I think she is Baek Ye Rin.
(She has a sentimental voice and great singing skills.)
(Is Sexy Diva Baek Ye Rin?)
- Baek Ye Rin? - Is she Baek Ye Rin?
Baek Ye Rin's voice is somewhat...
- less powerful. - I know.
- You mean her voice is softer? - Yes, her voice is...
a bit softer.
- I agree. - This is how I feel.
Popcorn Girl will...
make some animal sounds.
First, it's crow.
Make the sound of a crow, please.
Isn't that Lee Soon Jae?
You sounded like Lee Soon Jae.
Can you mimic Lee Soon Jae's voice?
- Say "no questions asked". - Can you do that?
Lee Soon Jae's voice.
"No questions asked."
Okay. That's it. Good.
I'm sure Popcorn Girl is not an idol singer.
She's not an idol singer.
I really like her voice,
but I have no idea who she is.
Don't you know who she is?
It's driving me crazy. I'm so curious.
Gosh.
- This is hard. - Let me check the result.
This is difficult. I have no idea.
It seems to be hard for them.
I have no idea.
I will now announce the result...
of the second match of Round Two, Semi-finals.
I'll now reveal the winner...
of this match.
Let's find out who will move on to Round Three.
(With her seductive, soulful voice,)
(she sang an addictive song.)
(Dia Sexy Diva)
(With her trendy voice,)
(she showed the festivity of groove.)
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order)
Sexy Diva versus Popcorn Girl.
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Palpitating)
(Who has caught the ears of the panellists...)
(and will move on to Round Three?)
Sexy Diva versus Popcorn Girl.
Who will move on to Round Three?
The winner is...
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order wins.)
Popcorn Girl wins.
(Popcorn Girl will bounce up to Round Three.)
(Popcorn Girl is good.)
Popcorn Girl!
I knew it.
(They feel sorry for Sexy Diva.)
(She did a good job, though.)
She is so good.
Popcorn Girl beat Sexy Diva...
with a final score of 74 to 25.
She won by a large margin.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Please give her a round of applause.
(The shocking identity of Sexy Diva will be revealed soon.)
I'm so happy.
I will eat some popcorn.
Let's find out the identity of Sexy Diva...
who has an attractive soulful voice.
Please move to the back and get ready...
- to take off your mask. - Who are you?
I'm so curious.
Now, Dia Sexy Diva, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She moved freely between falsetto and chest voice.
She sang in a wide range of scale.
It was very accurate.
I thought she sounds like Song Ji Eun of Secret.
- Okay. - I think...
she is Baek Ye Rin.
She has a pretty tone of voice.
I think she is So You in Bo Ra's group.
Please take off your mask...
and show us your face.
(Oh, my gosh.)
She is...
They are screaming.
She has yellow hair.
Who is she?
(Oh, my gosh.)
Now, Sexy Diva, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is Ye Eun of Wonder Girls.
Wonder Girls?
Ye Eun?
(The result is shocking.)
This is amazing.
That's right. Right.
- This is unbelievable. - Unbelievable.
Please say hello to those who are watching our programme.
Hello, I'm Ye Eun of Wonder Girls. It's nice to meet you.
(She made her debut as Wonder Girls in 2007...)
(and sang "Tell Me", "So Hot", "Nobody")
("Like This", "Be My Baby" and more.)
(She is a member of Wonder Girls who has released a lot of hit songs.)
(Ye Eun has been beloved by a lot of people.)
(They have recently transformed to a four-member band.)
(She also released a solo album as HA:TFELT.)
(Now she is transforming into a singer-songwriter.)
Ye Eun wondered if people would recognise her voice...
if she sings with a mask on.
She decided to appear in our programme to find it out.
- Is that true? - Yes.
- And no one knew. - No one recognised me.
I thought Seung Woo would recognise my voice.
And I see Gu Ra quite often,
so I thought he'd notice.
I don't see her often. I see her just a few times a year.
- Still. - Okay. She's right.
I had no idea, though.
Her voice sounded familiar,
but I was very confused when she sang in falsetto.
Her chest voice sounded like her.
Whenever I was about to recall her name, she sang in falsetto.
I wish she sang a little longer.
No one recognised your voice.
Are you upset or glad because of that?
It's a little sad, but it is fun.
They couldn't have been so honest to me...
if they knew who I was.
It was fun to hear from them about what they thought of my voice.
It's been 10 years since your debut.
Do you still feel uncomfortable in variety shows?
Yes. I feel very nervous.
I don't have much experience in variety shows.
I see Gu Ra almost once a year.
The problem is Park Jin Young.
He's not funny.
What did I do wrong?
Today, Ye Eun separated herself from her band Wonder Girls...
and showed off her talent...
as a true vocalist.
Please give her a round of applause.
- Thank you. - Go, Ye Eun.
You were the best.
Preparing for King of Mask Singer,
I realised how lacking I was.
I thought about the areas...
I can improve myself.
I will prepare and work hard...
so that I can sing my song at a variety of places.
Thank you. Let's go, King of Mask Singer!
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order...
beat Ye Eun of Wonder Girls and moved on to Round Three.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It's time to choose the opponent for I'm Excited Hurray Radio,
King of Mask Singer who aims to take his fifth win.
Let's invite the last two masked singers to the stage.
Please welcome them with a round of applause.
(The last match will unfold.)
(Redhead Anne versus Popcorn Girl)
(Two women with irresistible charms will have a showdown.)
(We waited for this.)
(Who will earn the right to challenge King of Mask Singer?)
Let's hear how they feel about reaching Round Three.
Redhead Anne, go ahead.
I am so happy.
Are you happy?
Yes, I can't believe...
that I am on a show like this.
Is everything going well as planned?
(Pondering)
Yes.
Is it?
Yes.
How far do you want to go?
- I want to take the throne! - You want to take the throne.
(I want to take the throne.)
(My goodness)
King of Mask Singer's mind was wandering...
when her words startled him.
I think it is very possible...
for you to take the throne.
Popcorn Girl, how do you feel?
First of all, I am incredibly happy and excited.
I want to make some popcorn.
(Giggling)
Your giggles tell me that you are in a good mood.
If you would like to say something...
to Hurray Radio, this is your chance.
That's my seat!
(That's my seat!)
"That's my seat!"
- That's my seat. - I see.
- I want that seat. - Their eyes are on the throne.
Hurray Radio was very startled.
The two masked singers are...
determined to take the throne.
Hurray Radio, how do you feel after listening to them?
I was made King of Mask Singer four consecutive times,
but no one was as determined as them.
- They expressed their desires. - I know.
Even though I am quite flustered,
I will work hard to give a nice performance.
Is there a masked singer who you want to compete against?
I asked around about Popcorn Girl...
because I was curious.
I wondered if the popcorn on her mask is real.
You mean the popcorn on her mask.
Yes. People told me that it's real.
It's edible popcorn.
You are right.
You don't want it to go bad.
- "You don't want it to go bad." - That's right.
I applied varnish.
What?
- I applied varnish. - You applied varnish...
so that it doesn't go bad.
- I added preservatives. - She added preservatives.
- You don't need to worry. - I see that it won't be a problem.
It won't be a problem.
You wanted to tell her to go home before popcorn goes bad, right?
That's what I wanted to say.
However, she clarified that she applied varnish.
- I understood. - You were worried...
- that popcorn might go bad. - Yes.
All right. No matter who wins in this round,
Hurray Radio will have a wealthy opponent.
Now, Final Round will begin.
Redhead Anne will take the stage first.
(Redhead Anne will perform first.)
(Expectant)
Which song will she sing?
- I bet she will sing a ballad song. - A ballad song?
I hope she sings a ballad song this time.
(The panellists are hoping for a ballad song.)
(Which song did Redhead Anne choose?)
("Don't Forget" by Baek Z Young)
(Redhead Anne forgoes a rock song to sing a sentimental ballad song.)
(The unruly teenage girl is gone.)
(Faced with a parting, Redhead Anne lets out a shaky whisper.)
(It's the moment of parting.)
(Redhead Anne's voice is filled with sorrow.)
(A unique harmony of girly emotions and seasoned talent)
(Her pure love is beautiful and sad.)
(Her song of love is heartrending.)
I cannot figure her out.
She shows different colours in each round.
I feel like a different person is behind the mask.
That's what it sounds like.
My heart weeps.
(My heart weeps.)
(The sadness makes the listeners...)
(bite their lips and feel their throats tighten.)
(Wow)
(She fills the stage with heartrending longing.)
(It's a parting even desperate love couldn't stop.)
(Redhead Anne's sorrowful cry fills the stage.)
(The refusal to accept a parting, "Don't Forget" by Redhead Anne)
(She expressed the most delicate emotions with her voice.)
(The emotions linger.)
That was great.
She is an amazing singer.
(Weeping)
I almost cried.
(He doesn't want to admit that he cried.)
You thought we were overreacting when you watched the show on TV, no?
- The emotions hit you hard. - You cannot help but cry.
- Who is she? - I don't have a clue.
Opposing her...
is a woman who beat Red Velvet's Seul Gi and Wonder Girls' Ye Eun.
She is a vocalist who runs towards the throne.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order!
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order)
(She makes a shy entrance.)
(Welcome.)
(The moment has come.)
I am excited.
She is the boss.
We have strong candidates today.
She will destroy her opponent with her sensibility.
I am so excited for her performance.
It will be a formidable performance if she chose the right song.
I hope she sings a ballad song this time.
(With her talented rival...)
(and King of Mask Singer who won four times watching,)
(Popcorn Girl's performance begins.)
(Which song did she choose?)
("Where Are You" by Yim Jae Beum)
(She chose Jae Beum's ballad song released in 1997.)
(Gosh.)
(Her sad voice sounds as if she woke up from a sorrowful dream.)
Oh, my gosh.
(You had to leave)
(Was that a coincidence?)
(Her refined emotion wakes up the feelings deep inside.)
(Tears wash off the memories of love.)
(Listening to this song makes him nervous.)
She breathed as she sang, right?
It was her breath.
(Even her breath is melancholic.)
(She's the best.)
(Popcorn Girl's voice soaks the souls wet.)
(Your memory rushes in a lonely street.)
(Regret and resentment are mixed in her sad voice.)
(The longing is so intense that it nearly breaks the heart.)
(A woman cries by herself.)
(Her voice is thrilling.)
She gave me goosebumps.
(Where are you?)
(Her deep sensibility made the crowd resistless.)
(The crowd was absorbed in the passionate love song.)
(The panellists were motionless until the song ended.)
(Wow!)
(The panellists go wild.)
Go, Popcorn Girl.
(At last, the corn has popped perfectly.)
That was awesome.
(The thrill still lingers.)
This is the song. This is the song.
Gosh, that was mind-blowing.
I can't believe this.
Final Round, Round Three has ended.
Press number one for Redhead Anne.
Press number two for Popcorn Girl.
To the rival for Hurray Radio...
who will be suitable to be the 40th King of Mask Singer,
please press the button to cast a vote.
All votes are in.
I'd like to hear Hurray Radio's opinion,
the present King of Mask Singer.
I begin to tremble a lot.
- Now? - Yes.
- Right. - I'm so worried about myself.
You are worried about yourself.
You don't think it'll be hard to win five successive victories.
- Very hard. - That's what you think.
Yes, they are very determined to be the king.
They are here for a reason.
As for Redhead Anne,
her singing the first bar...
gave me goosebumps. The climax, especially.
I did have goosebumps.
Also, Popcorn Girl.
Popcorns come with antiseptic for a reason.
(Thank you.)
The preservative on her...
may go as long as two years.
- Was the song that good? - Yes.
Okay, now,
the present King of Mask Singer will go to the back of the stage.
Please give him a big hand.
Please move to the back of the stage.
(We support you, king!)
It will be a brutal match.
(We can tell that the match is going to be hard.)
After we heard them sing,
We haven't experienced this before,
but we all experienced collective lethargy.
It felt as though...
they drained all of our energy.
Today, I thought that Seong Ju is...
a very unfortunate person.
- Why? - Because...
unlike us who can focus on the song itself,
you know who they are.
You are biased...
and you are all alone.
(You are all alone.)
You are unfortunate.
I used to envy you.
But now,
I pity you.
You can't enjoy the performance to the fullest.
We don't even care who they are.
They sing so well. How can they sing so well?
That's all we think.
Let's give them a big hand.
I mean it.
- I've thought about it before. - Isn't it true?
I've thought about it, too.
Although I knew who they are,
I was so touched.
That's absurd.
(Snorting)
You're saying that I don't understand you.
Of course. How do you know how we feel?
Gu Ra's face...
with an absent expression was...
something I haven't seen before. According to him,
they were that good.
Popcorn Girl's performance was...
like when we take a picture, we stop breathing...
right before we take it.
After we take the picture, we relax.
I felt that breath-holding.
(It felt as though the time stopped.)
(They couldn't so much as breath.)
(When her spell broke,)
(the emotion swirled.)
My ears hurt.
Gosh.
(He even fell down.)
If we can have her a bit longer,
she may show us even better performances.
I can expect that.
- I was so happy and so touched. - That's right.
- In fact, - Yes, DinDin.
the panellists broke in tears sometimes.
I wondered why they would cry when they look at the singers...
singing with masks on.
When Redhead Anne...
started to sing,
(I love it.)
Her trembling voice delivered emotions...
which struck me.
And then I wondered that...
even I got emotional when I listened to her,
how she could carry on with the emotion as she sang.
(Her voice captured sadness and happiness of life.)
(He was choked by tears.)
It brought me to tears.
Thank you for a great stage.
I see. All right.
It looks like Hyun Chul finds it hard to settle his emotions.
I've been a musician for 25 years.
This match made me feel...
ashamed of my career in music.
Redhead Anne...
sounded different in each round.
(In Round One,)
(she gave off her cute charm.)
While she showed off her rock spirit in Round Two,
she gave a very emotional performance...
that she hasn't given so far in Round Three.
- It was absolutely amazing. - Okay.
As for Popcorn Girl,
I'd like to say that the panellists should consider themselves...
very lucky to be here today.
How should I describe it? Even though I was listening...
to her song while sitting here with my eyes closed,
I felt so overwhelmed. I thought my heart would burst.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
Her singing was on a whole other level.
It's not just that she has a nice voice.
Her singing was close to perfect.
I think she is a vocalist who doesn't lack anything.
If she wins, she will be hard to beat.
You mean if she becomes the King of Mask Singer?
Yes. She's an amazing singer.
For the first time, I thought about a fairy tale.
In "The Little Mermaid", the witch tries...
to take the voice of the princess mermaid.
Just like that, I wanted to take her voice.
What are you going to do with it?
I just want everybody to cry when they hear my...
Why would you say that?
You have your own voice.
I just...
Goodness. He's so...
Seong Ju is laughing.
Did you have to say that?
Why are you laughing so hard, Seong Ju?
You're laughing as if you were thinking the same thing as Gu Ra.
What are you going to do with her voice?
I'm not sure if I can make a good use of her voice,
but I still want to have it.
What are you going to do with it?
I don't know.
- Please stop laughing. - I'm sorry.
- I get it. - Please don't misunderstand me.
My gosh.
Se Chan looks very calm now.
Why?
I was surprised by their perfect performances.
I was suspicious that you somehow make the singers sound good,
but all my suspicions are gone now.
I realised today that their true voice is...
aired on the show.
It was an amazing stage.
Now, I have the result...
of Final Round.
Between these two masked singers,
who will move on to Final Match that will determine...
the 40th King of Mask Singer? Let's find out the winner.
(Let's find out the winner now.)
Who is the winner?
(Her emotional stage makes you miss your old love.)
(Redhead Anne let out a cry over the painful parting.)
(The roar towards a break-up she can't accept)
(Popcorn Girl vented her sadness.)
Who will win this match and become...
the rival of I'm Excited Hurray Radio?
The winner is...
They both did great.
Who is it?
(Who won?)
(They sang differently about a break-up.)
(Who did the audience choose?)
Will it be Redhead Anne or Popcorn Girl?
Please show us the result.
Who will be the rival of the King of Mask Singer?
Will it be Redhead Anne or Popcorn Girl?
Please show us the result.
(Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order won.)
Popcorn Girl won.
(It's Popcorn Girl.)
- Wow. - That's right.
(Redhead Anne's fans are sad.)
(The result is surprising.)
Popcorn Girl defeated Redhead Anne and moved on...
to Final Match that will determine the 40th King of Mask Singer.
(Goodness)
Now, Popcorn Girl, please go to the back and watch...
Hurray Radio's performance.
Please give her a big hand.
(Congratulations on your victory.)
(She looks dazed.)
Gosh. I still can't believe this.
Thank you.
Hurray Radio, eat my popcorn!
I'll make you take off your mask.
Gu Ra said that I'm unfortunate that I know...
who these mask singers are.
However, because I know who she is,
I can see how surprised you're going to be...
when you find out who she is.
Now, who can she be?
Let's reveal the identity of Redhead Anne.
Please come to the back.
Now, Redhead Anne, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
- I think she's a big shot. - A big shot?
She's a veteran singer.
I'm sure she is a rock musician.
Is she Maya?
Redhead Anne sounded different in each round.
- Who could she be? - I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
(Who is Redhead Anne?)
(Screaming)
(Unbelievable)
It must be Maya. Isn't she?
Is she a big star?
What is it?
Why are they so surprised?
Oh, my. What should I do?
Please take off your mask and reveal your face.
She is Choi Jung Won, the musical actress.
(Screaming)
(They're as surprised as the audience.)
(No wonder why she was so good.)
She's an amazing singer.
She is Choi Jung Won, the musical actress.
(They can't stop screaming.)
It's been already 28 years since she debuted.
Redhead Anne was Choi Jung Won,
a veteran musical actress.
Hello. I'm Choi Jung Won, a musical actress.
(She's the living history of Korea's musical.)
(She stars in famous musicals such as "Chicago" and "Jekyll and Hyde".)
(She is a veteran actress, but she still continues to improve.)
(That's why she is still loved by so many people.)
(She is the Mother of Korean musical with 28 years of experience.)
(Korea's one of the most famous musical actresses, Choi Jung Won)
- You were wearing a mask today, - Yes.
but I heard you had a mask that you always...
wanted to take off.
I've been playing strong characters...
such as Velma in "Chicago" and also in "Jekyll and Hyde".
It's like I'm wearing a mask all the time on stage.
I'm living my life as a mother...
and an old actress.
I really wanted to be Redhead Anne.
I wanted to show you my optimistic thoughts...
and the pure side of me.
The three songs that I sang...
are the songs that I've never sung before.
It was a challenge for me.
But in Round One,
I thought I might lose.
I've never sung a rock song before, but you said I sound like a rocker.
It made me really happy.
I'll listen to pop songs more often...
and keep watching King of Mask Singer. Thank you.
(It was a challenge that broke her bias on herself.)
She's a chameleon.
This is why we all said she's someone we know.
It was the best.
I think many of them are surprised to see you sing...
pop songs so well.
I never even imagined it.
When she sang "Don't Forget"...
and uttered each word,
it stroke my heart heavily like stones.
I felt delirious while listening to her song.
I'm a big fan of Jung Won's.
I was touched by her singing once again today.
- It was an amazing stage. - Thank you.
- I see. - Thank you.
You're the first generation musical actress...
and a living witness of Korean musical.
You've been a leader of Korean musical.
Without your fame or reputation as a senior actress,
you competed fairly only with your voice.
Thank you so much. We'll look forward to your work.
- Please give Jung Won a big hand. - Thank you.
(Thank you for an amazing stage.)
Gosh, it was fun.
When I was taking off my mask after the match,
I felt like crying.
I felt very accomplished.
(It was a success for her.)
Good job, Redhead Anne.
I'll see you again someday.
My goal today wasn't becoming the King of Mask Singer.
I just wanted to hide my identity.
That's why I tried not to show...
my habits or usual singing style as much as possible.
It was a success.
I feel like I achieved something I always wanted.
I think I showed you that it's never late to do something.
Everyone, it's never too late.
You can do anything even when you're close to 50.
It made me really happy.
This is the result of Round Three.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order defeated Choi Jung Won...
and moved on to Final Match.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
It is time to watch the defending performance...
of the King of Mask Singer, I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
Today, what song is he singing...
for his fifth victory?
This is the Final Match for the 40th King of Mask Singer.
Please give King of Mask Singer a big round of applause.
(It begins now.)
Final Match...
for the 40th King of Mask Singer.
(Final Match)
Continuing his victory,
the immortal monstrous vocalist seeks for his fifth victory.
The 39th King of Mask Singer,
I'm Excited Hurray Radio.
(I'm Excited Hurray Radio)
(With his charisma,)
(Hurray Radio comes on the stage.)
(There is the King of Mask Singer.)
Go get them!
He is our King of Mask Singer
(He's wearing a new costume.)
Did he sing a dance song last week?
He sang a bluesy ballad song. It was great.
Is he singing a ballad song?
I think he will sing a rock song.
(There are a lot of speculation on the song he's singing.)
(They start to get nervous.)
(His competitor is very good.)
(The performance of Popcorn Girl...)
(still lingers in the panellists' hearts.)
(What song is he singing for a dramatic reversal?)
("Growing" by K.Will)
(He used to walk on the path with a woman he loved.)
(Now he is left alone on the path.)
(He thought it was a long forgotten memory.)
(But the place reminds him of all the memories about her.)
(There come waves of longing for her.)
(His feelings for her has never changed.)
(The song reminds them of the fond memories of the old love.)
(If I cried out loud,)
(would I have forgotten you a little more?)
(I thought I had forgotten you.)
(It has been a year, and it is now spring.)
(But the path still remembers you.)
(In my heart, your flower keeps blooming.)
(It is a sad but beautiful memory, "Growing".)
(They recall beautiful memories of the old love.)
He did a very good job.
- It was the best. - It really was the best.
(The song still lingers in the panellists' mind.)
It was beautiful.
(The song coloured everyone's heart.)
The performances for Final Match are over.
It is time to make a choice.
Popcorn Girl Takes Your Order is number one.
I'm Excited Hurray Radio is number two.
Who do you think should be the 40th King of Mask Singer?
All votes are in.
I will take Jang Hyuk's opinion first.
Okay.
Today,
all the performances were great.
Actually, I didn't know why Young Seok cried.
I wondered why he cried all the time.
But I was stunned and heartbroken as I was listening to the songs.
I've never felt that way before.
I was even grateful that we have...
such great singers in the country.
They both are wonderful singers.
Hurray Radio's voice has...
its own resonance.
It's like the butterfly effect.
His voice stirs me vigorously.
(His voice slowly approaches and blows people's mind.)
(It is a deep and heavy echo.)
(The quintessential sound of I'm Excited Hurray Radio...)
(touches people's hearts.)
As always, I enjoyed it very much.
(I enjoyed it very much.)
As for Popcorn Girl,
I wonder where her energy comes from.
Whenever she made a sound,
I couldn't even breathe.
There is no point...
in commenting on her breathing or singing skills.
I just want to thank her for the great performance.
- Okay. - Thank you.
He keeps thanking them.
Young Seok, what do you think?
To be honest with you, I don't want to say anything.
- Are you upset? - It's not like that.
I just don't want to say anything.
- Are you uncomfortable? - I'm just saying that...
I will humbly accept the result.
Why would we need you to accept the result?
That's just how I feel. I want to say one thing, though.
I want to tell Hurray Radio one thing.
I've seen him singing...
a lot of great songs.
But I liked the song he sang today most.
(It was the best.)
The song "Growing"...
was so sad.
(The song was beautiful but sad.)
I think he showed his true self...
as an artist at 100 percent.
It was great.
Autumn is a beautiful season.
We listened to many sentimental ballad songs today.
That's why Yoon Seok is very emotional now.
He's being very quiet.
I just thought that the world is so fair.
What? Why is that?
My opinion is the opposite of Gu Ra.
For Seong Ju, things might not be so exciting...
because he knows who they are.
But he doesn't need to choose one.
We don't know who they are,
but we have to choose one.
I really didn't want to choose one of them this time.
I agree.
I feel sorry for ourselves.
- The world is fair. - Okay.
The viewers must be carefree.
He's right. We are unfortunate.
We all are unfortunate.
I'm glad that I know who they are.
This is what I was thinking about.
And I think Hurray Radio drew in his feelings most...
when he sang today.
He suppressed deep sorrow...
and bore the burden. It was impressive.
Popcorn Girl seemed more than a singer.
If there is a spirit of music,
she would be the instrument it plays.
It would express music through her.
It was an awesome performance.
That's how much you liked it.
DinDin, what did you think?
I thought that we might have a new King of Mask Singer.
At the same time, I cannot imagine Hurray Radio losing.
I agree with what Yoon Seok.
It's painful...
that I have to choose.
Even though I am here for the shoot,
I want to see their performances again on TV...
and download the songs.
If there are videos of their performances,
I would add at least 45 to the total number of hits.
- By yourself. - I would put the videos on repeat.
You won't get tired of their performances.
I would repeatedly listen to Popcorn Girl's song twice...
and Hurray Radio's song once.
Your preference is showing.
I am a man.
My opinion differs from DinDin's.
I won't watch today's episode on TV.
- Why not? - I watched...
the best live performances today.
I am not sure if watching them on TV...
will give the same feeling.
I will be satisfied with the fact...
that I got to watch their live performances.
We've been recording this show for a year now,
but I have never heard Hyun Chul say such a thing.
- He loved the live performances. - I really did.
- Gu Ra. - If my guess...
on King of Mask Singer's identity is correct,
he is someone I have known for a long time.
In the past,
I sometimes voted for him and sometimes I didn't.
We think the performance he showed us today...
was his best one.
We all know that he is a talented singer.
Seeing him sing a mellow song today...
was a great sight to see.
That's why I voted for him this time.
It will be a close match.
I am sure...
- many viewers agree with Gu Ra. - That's right.

(She seems to be crying.)
(Well...)
(Don't cry, Popcorn Girl.)
I am...
From now on, I will sing...
more of the songs you love...
to reach out to your hearts.
I will be sure to do that. Thank you.
All right.
(See you next week.)
For security reasons, King of Mask Singer...
will exit the stage right after the march.
Please congratulate Popcorn Girl...
with a round of applause.
King of Mask Singer will march now.
Popcorn became...
the new King of Mask Singer.
Give her a big hand.
(See you next week.)
(We look forward to seeing the cute King of Mask Singer.)
(Screaming)
I got to make more popcorn.
You now have four bodyguards.
What?
My goodness.
It's good to be King of Mask Singer.
(I will surprise them.)
Ta-da!
(Screaming)
It's time to take off your mask.
If there is anything you would like to say beforehand,
this is your chance.
I will remember...
my time on the show for the rest of my life.
It brought me happiness.
(You brought us happiness, too.)
Please go to the back of the stage and get ready to take off the mask.
(We will get to see his face.)
Now, I'm Excited Hurray Radio,
please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Hurry Radio has a captivating voice.)
(He has rich emotions that move the heart.)
Who is the winner?
(He touched many people.)
Hurray Radio won.
I am embarrassed to assess his performance.
He showed us how one should sing.
He made me want to perform on the stage again.
(He is both sexy and controlled.)
(He is the vocalist of transformation...)
(who never feared challenging himself.)
(Hurray Radio was King of Singer who constantly challenged himself.)
Please reveal your identity.
(Welcome.)
(Hyun Chul feigns surprise.)
He is...
(Thank you for your hard work.)
(He got the timing wrong.)
the former vocalist of Boohwal, Jung Dong Ha.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
(It's good to see your face.)
(I knew it was Jung Dong Ha.)
(We sincerely welcome you.)
I'm Excited Hurray Radio...
was Jung Dong Ha. Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello.
I am a singer, Jung Dong Ha. It's nice to meet you.
(He debuted in 2005 with "A Different Side of Memory".)
(He is the ninth vocalist of Boohwal.)
(His hit songs are "I Remember", "The Thing Called Love"...)
(and "The Prayer That Beats Sadness".)
(He has a warm and intense voice.)
(He is a lovely rocker whose voice lingers in your memory.)
(He debuted as a solo artist in 2014.)
(He challenged himself by composing music and writing lyrics.)
(He evolved as a singer-songwriter.)
(Also in musicals like "Turandot" and "A Tale of Two Cities",)
(he works hard as a musical singer as well.)
(Jung Dong Ha is a vocalist with many charms.)
What is the reason...
for appearing in King of Mask Singer?
I debuted...
about 11 years ago.
Because I performed so much on stage,
people had a clear image of me.
There was a preconception...
about me and my stage.
I wanted to break free from it...
and discover a side even I wasn't aware of.
Did you discover it?
- No, I didn't. - You didn't.
- I was on the verge of discovery. - You still crave for it.
You came so close to discovering it.
To be honest,
I have always maintained the same hairstyle.
I have never been on TV...
without having done anything to my hair.
- Really? - This is the first time.
You had to wear the mask.
In a way, I could outgrow myself.
- It was a nice experience. - A new hairstyle.
Doesn't it look strange?
The hair's on one side.
- Their response isn't so bad. - Is it?
(Smiling)
You are very different without the mask.
- Am I? - You look...
a bit comical without the mask.
Is that so?
You used to be very charismatic.
Young Seok is Hurray Radio's huge fan.
Please give him a word of advice.
After doing music for about 10 years,
you may think that you can't achieve more.
However, it's just the beginning.
You have all the ingredients you need to improve in your hand,
so I hope to see you again on a higher level.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Although the record of the longest time as King of Mask Singer...
was nine weeks,
There are some Kings of Mask Singer...
like Cleopatra and Cosmos with four consecutive wins like you.
That's how good he was.
When Tae Won talked about him,
he said that he found a singer with amazing singing skills...
and good looks.
He was still shy at that time.
It's been 10 years since then already.
Now, he acts more natural...
on stage, even leading the crowd.
I could see that he grew a lot...
and made a successful career on his own.
The eight weeks I spent with him were so pleasant.
(Well done.)
Above all, seeing you happy...
gave me so much joy.
Thank you again...
and I was truly happy. Thank you.
(He bows fully.)
(Hurray Radio is his another name.)
Where are you going?
What's the concept?
The concept.
I am Hurray Radio.
Hurray Radio.
Hello, good morning.
I'll do my best today.
I can't see through.
Can I hold your hand?
(He's shy.)
Nothing.
No problem.
(Just then)
(Grabbing hands)
(Thank you.)
Hello.
(The king is nice and greets everyone.)
Thank you.
(He greets even in the backstage.)
(He feels the stare while practising.)
(She stares at him.)
(They made eye contact.)
(He can't talk to her.)
(She turned out to be Bae Jong Ok.)
Come on, Jeong Su.
Who would've guessed that she was Bae Jong Ok?
(I should've talked to her.)
(He rejoiced whenever there was music.)
(Dancing)
(His dance isn't that good.)
(Beside music, there was something that made him happy.)
Your outfit is very sexy.
(But there was a moment when he became serious.)
(That is, when he practised the songs.)
(He isn't as playful as usual.)
(He practises whenever and wherever he is.)
(He practised hard for the best performance.)
I worried a lot at first.
I worried if it will be all right to be on the show.
When I look back, I think it was worthwhile.
I mean it. It's not an empty compliment.
I'm so happy.
I feel that I was born again as I took off the mask.
They gave me such a warm welcome.
I won't forget the feeling.
It touched me so deeply.
I look forward to your support.
I love you.
Let's do it over.
